What do you do when the entire world is falling apart around you?
It's like a snowflake and the slightest breeze causes it to shatter and melt.
I am trying to understand what its like to be in the worst scenario possible, but first you have to define what a bad scenario is.
There is always something worse, but what if you're not the one dying?
Most people fear death, what could be worse?
The death of a loved one or someone near you.
The reason why?
You have to live after them. Without them.
You have to continue doing what you were doing with them, without them.
Where they once were they are now not, but you remain.
You must move forward picking your flowers in the field while they get to retire and rest.
You get to witness people close to you grow weaker each day.
They'll grow weak until they no longer can work, and they join retirement and rest as well.
What is worse than death?
The last day you get to smell the flowers and feel their texture.
The last day you get to see their vibrant colors and talk to the wind whispering sweet nothings.
The last time.
There are many last times, and most of the time you never know they're the last time until you think back.
When you die, you have 7 minutes left of brain activity.
During those 7 minutes your mind replays you're life in a dream like state, because in dreams time is warped.
What if you are in those 7 minutes right now?
You won't know I guess until you don't wake up.
What even happens after you die? After the 7 minutes? Do you just replay it forever?
Or is there really a higher power or god watching over us that will open their arms to embrace us in warmth after we go cold. How long do we get to stay there? What will it be like?
Whatever it is, we will never know. All we can do is live each day as if it is our last and lookout for those nearest to us. I would hate to accidentally waste someone's last moments with anything negative. I just hope that this next year will not be full of sad lasts, but happy firsts.
To the entire universe I wish many happy firsts, and sympathetic lasts.
Don't cry over the break ups, and don't yearn the lost. They are only to help you move forward. Do not let them bring you down, you must be broken before you can gain your full potential.
I guess you could say we're quite similar to glow sticks. So let them break you, let them help you grow. You will be beautiful. You will be your very best version.
So when the entire world around you is falling apart, breathe.
